| The corn has turned from grey to red | B |
| Since first my spirit wandered forth | C |
| From the drear cities of the north | C |
| And to Italia's mountains fled | B |
| - | |
| And here I set my face towards home | D |
| For all my pilgrimage is done | E |
| Although methinks yon blood red sun | E |
| Marshals the way to Holy Rome | D |
| - | |
| O Blessed Lady who dost hold | F |
| Upon the seven hills thy reign | G |
| O Mother without blot or stain | G |
| Crowned with bright crowns of triple gold | F |
| - | |
| O Roma Roma at thy feet | H |
| I lay this barren gift of song | I |
| For ah the way is steep and long | I |
| That leads unto thy sacred street | H |

| And yet what joy it were for me | J |
| To turn my feet unto the south | K |
| And journeying towards the Tiber mouth | K |
| To kneel again at Fiesole | L |
| - | |
| And wandering through the tangled pines | M |
| That break the gold of Arno's stream | N |
| To see the purple mist and gleam | N |
| Of morning on the Apennines | M |
| - | |
| By many a vineyard hidden home | D |
| Orchard and olive garden grey | O |
| Till from the drear Campagna's way | O |
| The seven hills bear up the dome | D |

| A pilgrim from the northern seas | M |
| What joy for me to seek alone | P |
| The wondrous temple and the throne | P |
| Of him who holds the awful keys | M |
| - | |
| When bright with purple and with gold | F |
| Come priest and holy cardinal | L |
| And borne above the heads of all | L |
| The gentle Shepherd of the Fold | F |

| O joy to see before I die | A |
| The only God anointed king | Q |
| And hear the silver trumpets ring | Q |
| A triumph as he passes by | A |
| - | |
| Or at the brazen pillared shrine | R |
| Holds high the mystic sacrifice | M |
| And shows his God to human eyes | M |
| Beneath the veil of bread and wine | R |

| IV | S |
| - | |
| - | |
| For lo what changes time can bring | Q |
| The cycles of revolving years | M |
| May free my heart from all its fears | M |
| And teach my lips a song to sing | Q |
| - | |
| Before yon field of trembling gold | F |
| Is garnered into dusty sheaves | M |
| Or ere the autumn's scarlet leaves | M |
| Flutter as birds adown the wold | F |
| - | |
| I may have run the glorious race | M |
| And caught the torch while yet aflame | T |
| And called upon the holy name | T |
| Of Him who now doth hide His face | M |
